Just an observation, I store all my wine in our basement. And as I build up
my stock (so to speak), I have had a small concern that maybe my basement
isn't the best place, but better than anywhere else in my house. The
difference in the temperatures down there is about 10 degrees from winter to
summer - it is dark, and generally very little vibration. I've always had
wine stored in my basement since we moved here 14 years ago, although I
didn't start my wine-making until 3 years ago. Not all of us can spend the
big $ to protect our wine, but we do the best we can. Needless to say, I
was pleased when I opened up a 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon over the past
weekend - the wine was very, very good. How's everyone else's wine storage
working out?
